PX Flow Sensor configurator dialog box
The configuration parameters available in the relevant configuration dialog boxes allow you to set up which measurements the sensor shall make and which communication channels it shall use for these measurements.
Prerequisites
The PX Flow Configurator dialog box is only available if there is a PX Flow sensor connected to your TV80 by means of the configurator cable.

Description
Gear monitoring sensors are delivered from Kongsberg Discovery readily set up with common default settings. In some cases, you may find that the default parameters do not suit your operational needs. Each individual sensor can be configured to specify its communication channel, which measurements to make and some other relevant operating parameters.
Details
This dialog box presents a number of parameters that are common to all Configuration dialog boxes and some that are specific to the type of sensor connected.
The PX Flow sensor is a wireless multifunction gear monitoring sensor.
In gear monitoring terminology, the flow measurement presents the speed of the water current entering the trawl opening. The measurement is made with a small acoustic doppler current profiler (ADCP).
The details provided here are specific to configure this sensor.
Cell 1
Cell 1 refers to the volume of water starting 1 m away from the sensor and ending 2 m away from the sensor.
Cell 2
Cell 2 refers to the volume of water starting where Cell 1 ends, that is, 2 m away from the sensor and ending 3 m away from it.
